Details

From the project README

ddbx plugin (ChatGPT + Codex)

An Agent Plugins 1.0 package that puts ddbx insider dealings into ChatGPT and Codex. It bundles:

  • The ddbx MCP server (https://api.ddbx.uk/mcp): read-only, no auth, thin tier only. The server lives in ddbx-data/worker/mcp.ts; this repo only points at it.
  • Three skills that teach the assistant how to use the tools well:
    • company-insiders: insider activity at one company (UK, US, SE, NL, Congress)
    • market-scan: the notable dealings across a market over a period
    • daily-recap: ddbx's published daily summary for the UK or US

Connect

The hosted server is public, read-only and needs no API key: https://api.ddbx.uk/mcp.

  • Claude: Customize → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste the URL.
  • Cursor / VS Code: add an HTTP MCP server named ddbx with that URL.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http ddbx https://api.ddbx.uk/mcp
  • Gemini CLI: gemini extensions install https://github.com/jonwillington/ddbx-plugin
  • Codex: codex plugin marketplace add jonwillington/ddbx-plugin
  • Smithery: jonathanwillington/ddbx

The repository also carries manifests for the official MCP Registry, Cursor Marketplace, Gemini CLI and OpenAI Agent Plugins.

Contract with ddbx-data

The skills name the MCP tools (search_dealings, get_dealing, get_company, get_daily_summary, search, fetch) and their arguments. Renaming a tool or an argument in worker/mcp.ts breaks this plugin as well as any cached connector: change it additively, then update the skills here.

The skills also restate the thin-tier posture: the analysis prose is not served, so the assistant links to each filing's url and never invents a reason for a rating. If the MCP ever serves analysis behind auth, update the Rules sections.

Test in Codex

codex plugin marketplace add ./          # from this repo root
codex plugin marketplace list

Then enable it in ~/.codex/config.toml:

[plugins."ddbx@ddbx"]
enabled = true

Try: "What did UK directors buy today?", "Any insider buying at Dunelm?", "What has Congress traded in NVDA?".

Once this repo is on GitHub: codex plugin marketplace add jonwillington/ddbx-plugin.

Test in ChatGPT

  1. Settings → Security and login → turn on Developer mode.

  2. ChatGPT Plugins → + → server URL https://api.ddbx.uk/mcp, authentication None.

  3. Copy the plugin_asdk_app_… id from the browser URL.

  4. To bundle the skills with it, add plugins/ddbx/.app.json:

    { "apps": { "ddbx": { "plugin_asdk_app_<id>": {} } } }
    

    and "apps": "./.app.json" inside extensions.com.openai in plugin.json.

  5. Test in a Work chat with @ddbx.

Publish

  • Your workspace: ChatGPT Plugins → Personal → the plugin's ⋯ menu → Publish. This does not list it publicly.
  • Public directory: the submission portal. Needs a verified developer identity, and the domain challenge served at https://api.ddbx.uk/.well-known/openai-apps-challenge (a ddbx-data change). Listing copy and the required test cases are in SUBMISSION.md.

New to MCP?

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
